Newsweek: Trump is urging a federal court to continue blocking publication of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report on the classified documents investigation.

Trump sure doesn't want the proof of his innocence seeing the light of day does he.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

With so many nonprofits making a year-end push for donations, it helps to do some research before deciding where to give.

“Under Trump's first term, the deficit jumped from $665 billion to $3 trillion, from a B to a T, and he's already added another $2 trillion this term.”

@kamlager-dove.house.gov calls out Republicans for pushing a balanced budget amendment despite their own fiscal record.

Newborn hepatitis B vaccinations prevent acute AND chronic illness AND save lives.

90% of hepatitis B infections in kids become chronic hepatitis.
Chronic hepatitis causes 60% of liver cancers.
Hepatitis B is NOT just sexually transmitted, it’s spread through direct contact with bodily fluids.

😡 They are still targeting American citizens! 😡
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

The renaming is the latest in a series of actions by the Trump administration to deemphasize or cut the parts of the federal government that support renewable energy, while also expanding federal support for fossil fuels.

Team Trump strips "renewable energy" from the name of an iconic national lab
A key driver of renewables research is now the National Laboratory of the Rockies.

Good for them! Mike Johnson has repeatedly refused to hang this plaque in violation of the law.
ALERT: At US House Homeland Security Committee about violence against law enforcement, Democrats have put the January 6th plaque on a stand behind the Democratic members of panel

(House leadership has declined to hang the plaque at Capitol by mandated 2023 deadline)

The president's strikes against alleged Venezuelan drug boats demand a congressional select committee investigation, writes @mawaldman.bsky.social in the @nytimes.com. Why? "Abuse of power calls for prominent public exposure, not whispered consultations."

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

In our 250 year history we've never experienced an administration come even remotely close to Trump's in expressing such satisfaction and joy over the pain and suffering of other human beings....

Trump’s claim he can order strikes on foreign civilians is unconstitutional

Nowhere in the Constitution is he given this power, it's a violation of multiple US laws, and there is no precedent in American history

I laid it out on @newsnation.bsky.social w/ @chriscuomo.bsky.social👇

It’s now official: Trump has pardoned one of the world’s most notorious drug traffickers. Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of drug trafficking last year in the U.S. and sentenced to 45 years in prison. 1/

It's shameful after all the criticism the media gave "Sleepy Joe" that they give "Dozy Don" a free pass.

After slow-walking critical funding for lifesaving research, the Trump administration has sabotaged the NIH grantmaking process so that researchers get LESS money on average and LESS time to use it.
 
No one is asking to fund less cancer research, but that's what's happening.
The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine
A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.
